At this point in time I decided its silly of me to drop 2k into a new bike setup. I am just going to tweak my cheapo Stout 29r to make it a more serious XC bike and I will rip that around instead. Should be plenty for Dryer Road and the other various trails. I have a 7" free ride and slalomish DJ bike for everything else.

Your SOL bud lol. You can try Tryon and Dryer, Dryer has CMP and Humpty Dumpty which are like extremely short DHish runs. Tryon has some random features. What bike do you have?

Ocp has some good options

Stid hill is worth pushing the bike up the steep sections it has a 10 min run from the top by the abondon truck

The D.E.C. Trail in naples and hi tor also are worth checking out

Yes the parking area is a few miles before bristol on the left if your going south. You should be able to find a trail map google stid hill multiple use area

Go all the way up to the abandon truck it's a long fun run, make sure not to miss the left for the switch backs

You must check it out along with the dec trail in Naples there is a detailed map at the trail head in front of the dec building

You can do like a 15 mile loop with some moderate climbs, 35 mph fire roads, rooty single track ending with a long fast rooty rocky decent back to the parking area
